Tub bearings are ready to be replaced. (Maybe you can fabricate the $95 in special tools to do a $53 repair.) The bearing and seal kit for this model are shown below...however the special tools required to dismantle the machine are also available at the link below.

Mine wasnt spinning as fast as it should and sounded like metal scraping in the spin cycle. I took a chance and went with the cheap fix first and installed the thrust bearing kit. It seems to have solved the problem.

That could be. I got mine free after a reletive upgraded to front loaders.

Talk about jumping out the frying pan into the fire
